Hey guys/gals:

I have a question for you JS pro's....

I've found some countdown JS scripts but you have to set the time ahead of time near the <header>, so it seems like a one shot deal. Like if you were counting down for say a movie opening.

You would set the target date once, and then the script would count down. But I need multiple(random) countdown's....

I generate a random number of rows, each would have a different countdown though. So I was wondering what is the best way to do this? I'll provide a quick example:

Code:

#   User-logged-In    Username
------------------------------
1      100 sec        James Dolan
2      55 sec         John Smith
3      75 sec         Jane Doe

The "user-logged-in" column is where you would see the countdown.

I am in no way a javascript expert. In fact I'm not even a novice. I don't know JS at all..

So I am definitely pleading for help. Would anyone have any suggestions?
